GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



165 



The Most Extensive 



BEE=KEEPER^ 



in Michigan is Mr. E. D. Townsend, of Remus. He 

 has kept bees many years, is managing several out- 

 apiaries with no help except that of his two boys in 

 thfir early 'teens and he is making money. It has 

 r quired much pers-istent urg'ng to get him to write 

 for the Review, his excuse heing that his forte was 

 that of producing honey, instead of writing about it. 

 But it is the experience of exactly such men as this 

 that is real help to others who are producing honey, 

 and I have succeeded in getting three articles from 

 him, and have pretty fair hope* of getting at least as 

 many more. The publication of this series was begun 

 in the January Review, and will be continued, one 

 article each month, as long as Mr. Tovvnsendcan be 

 induced to write them. When attending the bee- 



keepers' institutes in New York this winter, only one 

 of these articles had appeared, yet I received many 

 congratulations upon having secured Mr. Town.^end 

 as a coriespondent. Remember, these Tc wnsend ar- 

 ticles are only one of the many good features of the 

 Review. Subscribers write: ' It grows better all of 

 the time. I shall take it as long as I keep bees." 

 I have no more back numbers of the Review, nor 

 j copies of Advanced Bee Culture, to give to new sub- 

 scribers but ; if you are making'your living keeping 

 bees, J ou c^n't spend $1,00 in anyway that it will 

 bring you greater returns than in sending it for the 

 Bee Keepers' Review lor IStOl.
